What hapened to AxKit.com?

[mi...@collegenet.com]

I finally convinced some of my colleagues
to look at AxKit as a replacement for Cocoon.
But when we try to go to the website, it
times out. An nslookup of 'www.axkit.com'
and 'www.axkit.org' and 'axkit.org', etc,
result in 'can't find www.axkit.com: 
Non-existent host/domain'. The same used to
be true of take23.org, but it showed up again
recently...  All of this happened shortly
after Sept. 11....


I have searched websites and mail lists for
any news about the axkit site (and for that matter
sergeant.org), but I have only turned up one post
about the site being down, and it suggested that it was
being transferred to apache.org.


Does anyone have factual information about the
AxKit website?


Thank you!

If AxKit doesn't work out, Apache::ASP has XSLT
functionality that rivals AxKit & Cocoon with a 
dbm based cache layer...

  http://www.apache-asp.org/xml.html#XSLT%20Tranformations

Next time I post benchmarks on the mod_perl list,
you will see some XSLT performance comparisons.  
AxKit is definately faster than Apache::ASP by 
some .005 sec per request on my machine, but this 
may not make a difference for you.  Also in benchmarks
I have seen both Apache::ASP & AxKit to be faster than
Cocoon v1 ... I never got v2 installed.

BTW, if no one else tells you on the list, the AxKit site is \
just temporarily down due to the author Matt moving recently.
I don't have current status on this.

you can get to axkit.com at http://217.158.50.178/

you can read about matt's travails in getting it up and
running again at his diary on use.perl.org.
